Transform politics

Upgrade democracy now!

For politics to work for people like us, it has to include people like us

But right now, it’s too easy to ignore us and the knowledge, skills and experiences we have to offer.

It’s time to transform politics.

Citizens’ assemblies are being used all around the world to tackle problems by bringing people from all walks of life together and giving us the time and information to find the right solution.

Join Sortition Foundation to help upgrade our democracy and make it fit for the 21st century.

Who do you trust to do right by us?

Politicians or people like us?

What?

A citizens' assembly brings together people from all across our communities – our shopkeepers, teachers, carers, tradespeople, doctors, friends and family members – to tackle a problem.

How?

People are given the time and information to find the best solution. Just like a jury, everyone has an equal chance of being selected and they are supported to take part.

Where?

Citizens' assemblies have been held all over the world to transform politics. Take a look at the examples.

Together we can win the fight to make democracy fit for the 21st century

Support the next chapter in our proud democratic history

A proven solution around the world
